A rare Welshwoman

[chinakay]

Hi all,

Another classic lady, although with a very different look indeed, and one which has forever passed as a way of daily life. Margaret Parry, born 1830 in Ffestiniog, and my gggrandmother. The photo was likely taken in the 1890s. This is the farthest generation back of which I have a picture, and I know I'm lucky to have it. Going to the photographer's must have been a very special occasion!

Would someone like to give Margaret a spruce-up? I'd be grateful!

Cheers,
China

Hi China 
What a wonderful photo - such an interesting face, I bet she could have told some stories   
Here is a quick clean from me.

Oh China

I thought you were referring to me when I read your subject line 

I must get my hands on this one  - what a wonderful photograph. The Welsh woollen shawl as well.

It will be later in the day though - I'm busy entertaining at the moment.
